Search for magnetic long-range order in a spin-liquid candidate K2Ni2(SO4)3
We recently synthesised a new compound, K2Ni2(SO4)3, that allows the existence of non-trivial topologicalphases such as skyrmions. Specific heat measurements show the existence... -
Probing Magnetic Order in 1D Holmium Magnetocaloric Frameworks
Lanthanide coordination frameworks containing polyatomic anions are attracting increasing attention for low dimensional magnetism, which appears to be linked to improved... -
Detecting an entanglement transition in a quantum magnet
Justification: We'd like to apply for three days Director’s Discretionary time on WISH to continue the experiment on measures of quantum entanglement in a model 1D magnet. This... -
Neutron reflection from the surface of a liquid 3He-4He mixture
In our previous experiments we have investigated the surface properties of liquid 3He - 4He mixtures by neutron reflection. We have shown that in broad temperature range there... -
Dipolar Ordering of a High Spin Molecular Nanomagnet
Systems with antiferromagnetic ordering that is driven predominantly by dipolar interactions are very rare, as the dipolar interaction is inherently weak compared to the... -
Search for the spin liquid phase in terbium gallium garnet.
Usually, magnetic materials can be understood by imagining them as orderly rows of communicating, atomic-sized bar magnets (or "spins") which organize themselves into a... -
Magnetic Phase Diagram of Geometrically Frustrated BaDy2O4
In BaDy2O4, the magnetic Dy3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, which gives rise to geometric... -
Melting the long-range magnetic order in SrEr2O4 with an applied magnetic field
We have observed an interesting phenomenon of the destruction of long-range magnetic order in SrEr2O4 by a relatively modest applied magnetic field. For a field applied along... -
Magnetic order in Er2Si2O7
We propose to use neutron diffraction to establish the magnetic structure of D-type of Er2Si2O7 in zero field first with a view of extending the measurements to an applied field... -
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 - a 2D Kagome lattice with Classical Ising Spins
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 forms a layered structure with magnetic Dy3+ ions forming sheets of corner sharing triangles, called a Kagome lattice. The Ising magnetic moments are constrained to... -
Magnetic order in a pyrochlore iridate
Iridium oxides are of interest because many novel magnetic phases have been predicted in crystals, depending on the geometry of the crystal lattice. Our proposal concerns one... -
Neutron reflectometry study of liquid helium surface
In our recent experiment RB1120146 we have obtained new exciting results on neutron scattering on liquid He surface. At 1.5 and 2.3K there was no difference in reflectivity... -
S=1 triplet character of the resonance peak in CeCoIn5
We propose to investigate the resonance peak in superconducting CeCoIn5 as a function of applied field. Preliminary low resolution cold triple-axis data has been suggestive that... -
Solving the antiferromagnetic structure of Gd3Al5O12.
This proposal would like to map the diffraction patterns of Gd3Al5Gd12 (GAG) using the high flux diffraction instrument WISH. It is of great interest to solve the magnetic... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3... -

The material Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) (C8H4CuO4) features structurally perfect kagome lattice planes of spin-1/2 copper2+ ions, with the separated by organic linkers. High... -
Is the anisotropic resistivity in Sr3Ru2O7 due to imbalanced antiferromagneti...
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
